I think War was the premier example in the field of how to level through PVP, and public quests. Nothing else though. People have learned the public quests lesson, but it really feels like there aren't many games where levelling through PvP is good at all

Didn't one side get their knockback before the other so that tier of PvP was just knocking people into lava for big laughs and there was nothing they could do about it?

I haven't played any games where the public quests were anywhere near as cool and involved as WAR's tbh. The last one I tried was FFXIV at the relaunch and the public quests were almost entirely "run to this point and kill 50 of this mob" or "click 50 of these glowies". Of course it's not like I've played every MMO out there.

I think that battleground with the lava was added after release and if I remember right, bright wizards had the knockback for Order and Chaos Magus had it for Disorder. Way more people played wizards.

Way more people played wizards. tor anroc punt parties were awesome WAR was amazing because it was beyond hosed up for balance sorcs could use channel spells on the GCD because the first tick would do damage so you could chain someone down almost instantly in 3-4 buttons 100% of the time gtaoe targeting was absurdly easy to exploit in keeps since you could stay at the top of stairs in a corner and target the bottom floor without anyone seeing you magus and engineer vacuum skills were beyond broken since people would get stuck in one another's hitboxes and couldn't escape there was nothing better than roaming in party as a magus and charging into an order warband fullspeed and watching them scatter from your little demon surfboard. for like 3 days also some goons found items with 100% dispel ratings also so we were immune to bright wizards before they hotfixed the items. that was super fun Lux Aeterna fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Jul 21, 2018 |

Played a few rounds today on a TDD archer and it really brought back a good warham/daoc vibe Highest scenario count was maybe 75 total people (+bots) and there were some fun fights

The game seems fine for where it is at in the development cycle. Keep in mind that what CSE is calling "Beta 1" is not what people are accustomed to with modern betas. It is definitely too early to answer the question, "Will this be good?" but I definitely think it has the potential to be great.

Where it is in its development cycle is "way behind schedule and with a poo poo ton of time still to go".

The main difference between GW2's WvW and Camelot's RvR is that for GW2 each side is a different server, each with exactly the same classes and style that rotate on a schedule, auto balancing the clusters. For Camelot you have classic "servers" with each of them three totally distinct sides battling eachother forever, thus creating the possibility of true rivalries and feuds. I think both mechanics have their upsides and downsides. WvW automatically balances the game by putting servers of equal strength against each other. But your opponents feel more nameless. RvR you always face the same groups of enemies, making reputation a big thing ("carefull, Trauma is roaming the frontier!")... but can result in one realm dominating. This can be mitigated by the two realms cooperating somewhat (more by targetting the leader than really helping eachother out)

Ehh I'd argue that your opponents aren't nameless in WvW, my buddy was the lead of a top tier of guild and they knew every guild/group that they ran into because they typically ran into the same people all the time.

One good thing about WAR imo was that you didn't need to do much PvE to do RvR, aside from some LotD, etc. I kind of don't like having to do a lot of PvE to be efficient in PvP.

I still don't understand why we are still using "levels" in a PvP game. Make progress unlock extra abilities, boons&banes, and other shenanigans... but I don't see the point of levels anymore.
